My poor sister
Today, my mom had a big heart scare...her right coronary (big artery) was 90% blocked and was making her heart stop beating for a split second throughout the day, resulting in really really short blackouts...unforunately, one of the times she blacked out was while she was parking her car at her work, and kind of crashed into the curb...she woke up not knowing what happened and was taken by ambulance to the hospital, when I got a call in Flag from the Chandler hospital saying my mom was in the emergency room. Thanks to Twig's super-sized heart, she drove me down to the valley pronto where I met my poor, freaked out sister at home. We drove to the hospital, got dinner, and came home where she went to bed, and then I left for the hospital again until just now, I just got home. Apparently, the blockage is due to high cholesterol and tomorrow my mom is getting a little pacemaker surgically placed next to her heart so that if there are any problems (which there shouldn't be if she starts taking her cholesterol medicine again, and she'd better) the pacemaker will zap her heart back into place. It's a very minor surgery and she should be out of the hospital by Friday or Saturday, so I'll be holding down the fort in Phoenix till Sunday prolly, since I have work on Monday of next week. Oy what a day...
